No one is saying Pep is not s good coach. No one is saying City did not play some jaw dropping football. No one is claiming clubs have not spent grew deal of money in the past.

What at least I'm saying is and we have said it in the time of Chelsea, Man United, Real, PSG and we've been saying it since Dubai money landed at City. City's ascendancy comes with their money and Pep used that money to the fullest.

I consider Pep a very good coach that can make things happen when he has the sharpest knives but cannot create the sharpest knives himself. SAF was a great coach in that he proved himself at lowly Aberdeen. Got the gig at Man United and used youth from the club to win things, while constantly refreshing with gems he picked up here and there.

Maurinho did similar with Porto and his managerial skill got him gigs at top clubs where he proved himself again and again. He even took Inter to the holy Grail of European football when they were not the best in Europe.

Pep has not tested his managerial skill at some unfancied club where he'd have to sharpen his own knives.
If you're given the fasted car and most expensive car with top engineers and you beat the likes of Lada and Skoda, where's the praise in that? Sure we can talk about your handling of the car but not the pace or the car compared to others.

He's put big and expensive names together, got them playing great football and he's achieved his aim, but question mark remains... Can he do the same without jumping from Barca to Bayern to Man City? Clubs that were no pushovers in terms of winning things and resources before he joined.

You cannot type that Pep is a good coach then go on to type that he is not proven in the next sentence.
Pep is either good or not good. No buts...

Congratulate or move on, everything is just saltiness.

where did the term Chelski come from? When United paid for Rio Ferdinand, wasn't there a lot of noise about money spent on just 1 defender?

Look, you rate him as the best thing since sliced bread, others see things different. Accept and move on.

Theres a reason your ilk have still not commented on what went wrong in 2 UCL games v Liverpool

No matter how much one spends you're not going to see perfection, it just won't happen. Nothing is perfect. Fair play to Liverpool for winning against City, their style of play works in breaking up City's pattern. Only a well coached team can pull it off for 90 mins. Pep is a good coach though and his style tends to win out against most teams, City aren't doing anything dominant teams of the past didn't do so I don't get what all the fuss is about IMHO.

You know its possible to focus on their football first and leave the finances for the time there is an article about their finances right?


Not dismissing the fact that they have spent 600m but the article is about their football( how they played) which was fantastic, better than most other financially doped clubs which spent more or less like them

therefore we expect the following next season
1. Players from the famed City Academy being blooded into the 1st team
2. A deeper run in the UCL
3. Other teams in the Prem playing from the back,something which was never seen prior to 2017
4. The remaining teams to stop hoofing it from the back <-- justification of the English Revolution

You paid almost ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS for one player who could not even finish a game against the world champion division 2 bound West Ham

as usual you have no point....just kpom what others say with NO thought of your own.

All you do is slurp slurp on The Inheritance Merchant's nuts, all because u hate Mourinho.

2 seasons, 2 trophies....excellent. Time to buy Liverpool players to go further in the UCL

You paid almost ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS for one player who could not even finish a game against the world champion division 2 bound WEST BROM

At Bayern Munich, Pep debuted 6 players, Now at City, three players from the academy Pablo Maffeo, Brahim Diaz and Phil Foden as at 5 months ago.
He has also moulded a lot of young players including Messi, Sane and Kimmich.

People choose to see what they want to see. How anyone would say Pep doesn't improve players or produce stars with a straight face befuddles me. You forgot to mention that defender that looks like Debruyne (i've forgotten his name) whom Pep used in some very important matches.

People can talk about Raheem Sterling, Debruyne and Sane being stars before Pep came in, but you cannot argue the remarkable improvement that these players showed this season. Sterling was almost a laughing stock cause of his ineffectiveness up until this season.

Anyways, it is what it is.
